19 things Destiny: Rise of Iron never tells you

Destiny: Rise of Iron is out, and we know what that means. Confusion. Because what comes along with any Destiny expansion, aside from debate missions, Strikes, and loot? Yes, dear friends, a bamboozling volume of unexplained, keen systems and conundrums. Destiny usually loves not revelation we stuff. And while I say that that’s a good thing, eventually you’re going to need some sum if you’re going to rectilinear a game’s larger inlet and learn a coolest secrets.

So that’s what we’re environment we adult to do here. We’ve sat down, fine-toothed a approach by all those ‘What a ruin is this for?’ niggles that we, as hardened Destiny players, suffered by a initial integrate of days, and we’ve answered all of those questions for you. Read on, and understand.

What’s Silver Dust and where do we get it?

Silver Dust is Rise of Iron’s new currency. Its use is indifferent for purchasing specific items, namely arms and armour ornaments from Xur, a colour-filter requesting Artifact Lens – that we can get from a Eververse store – and Chromas, also from a Eververse. You’ll also need to use it to supply an ornament, nonetheless once you’ve finished so it will sojourn practical to that specific square of rigging as prolonged as we don’t idle it, and can be switched on and off with a toggle in a item’s fact screen.

As for how to get Silver Dust, we acquire it from Radiant Treasure packages – performed from a hardest Strike playlist – or by dismantling ornaments.

How do we get a Boon in Archon’s Forge?

This one is approach reduction difficult than it during initial seems. Part approach by an Archons’ Forge fight, you’ll hear a summons go off. Scan around a arena, and you’ll see one of a vast domes is opening up. There will be a SIVA node inside it, and if we kill that, a second architecture will open adult with 3 hammers/axes (haxxors?) inside as a prerogative for your responsible killing. And boom, there we go. The Boon is yours. Do that 5 times, and you’ll have adequate for a associated quest.

What’s a new limit Light spin for blue engrams?

We’ve seen them go adult to 350 , nonetheless in use they some-more frequently top out in a 340s. Obviously your mileage will change depending on how high your versed Light spin is when we decrypt.

What are those bells for (and where are they)?

Head out to a left or right of a Temple’s initial categorical chamber, and you’ll find a tiny door. Head through, and adult a stairs on a other side, and you’ll find a mezzanine that loops right around a outward of a chamber. Along a way, you’ll also find a array of vast bells, any with a symbol prompt permitting we to ring it. If we sound out any of a bells in a right sequence to play a Rise of Iron categorical theme, you’ll get a Trophy or Achievement, nonetheless you’ll substantially need a group to do that, as a time window for toll any note is utterly short.

What are those drifting drones for?

Not much. We consider they competence be repair a Plaguelands and Cosmodrome after a SIVA influx, nonetheless it’s not wholly clear. But you can float them if we get adult high and make a clever jump.

Why are Splicer Vandals so tough to kill?

If you’re going for headshots and anticipating that Splicer Vandals aren’t going down as quick as expected, that’s since their SIVA armour creates them work a small differently to a rest of their coterie (and vanilla Vandals). Their SIVA helmets give them additional protection, so to measure a pointing shot, you’ll indeed need to aim for a throat.

Why do we keep removing strike by these red things?

Those will be a grenades that some Splicers eject from their neck-holes when we kill them with a headshot. They’ll solemnly lane we until they strike you, and afterwards they’ll hurt. The chances are we won’t even notice one has been launched, as fit Guardians generally spin true to a subsequent aim as shortly as a final one is reliable downed. But when fighting Splicers it’s value gripping an eye on any kill as it drops, usually to make sure. If a grenade is launched, usually fire it down. Or, if you’re a jerk, let it lane your teammate, as these explosives will tighten onto a nearest Guardian target.

Why can’t we find all a SIVA clusters in a Plaguelands patrol?

Because they’re not all in a Plaguelands patrol, basically. we know a query tracker implies that they are, nonetheless it lies. Some are in Destiny’s lifelike winter wonderland of snowbound desolation, nonetheless others are in a Cosmodrome, while nonetheless some-more are technically in a Plaguelands, nonetheless usually seem during certain missions. Fear not though, we usually need 5 to swell along a query to get Gjallarhorn, and completing a SIVA cluster entrance in a Record Book usually requires 15. There are 30 in total. And if we wish a lot, we already have a SIVA cluster guide.

Where are a Iron Medallions indispensable to make Gjallarhorn?

These are all in a Plaguelands section (with a difference of a initial one, that you’ll find part-way adult a towering stand during a Iron Temple, and a final two, that are in a Wretched Eye Strike). They’re indeed unequivocally easy to find though. Just lane a quest, and they’ll spin adult as markers in your HUD when we get close. The usually tricksy one in section is in Site 6, nonetheless that’s usually since Site 6 doesn’t spin adult as partial of a standard, nomadic upsurge of a Plaguelands. To find it, you’ll need to go into a Archon’s Forge, and afterwards by a SIVA-tainted mezzanine we used to strech a Warmind trickery in a campaign. Head by a Warrens and dump in as we did before.

What a ruin is an assassination section / quarantine patrol?

These are normal section missions you’ll get now Rise of Iron is out. You’ll find them in a Plaguelands nonetheless they’re not as common your customary ‘kill a guys’ or ‘scan a area’ variants. If we can’t see any true away, use your sparrow to pierce between locations until one appears. You can also try picking adult a section mission, abandoning it, and afterwards returning to a area. Or booting behind to circuit and returning, if pickings seem quite dire. The Lord’s Watch and Archon’s Keep areas seem to be quite good for them during a moment.

Assassination patrols are represented by a star within a round idol (the same as a ‘kill an rivalry leader’ version) and ask we to, well… kill an rivalry leader. They’re not too high powered so we should have no problem doing it solo. Quarantine patrols are represented by a SIVA symbol – a arrange of damaged diamond, or abstracted, retrograde ‘Q’ – and have we murdering an Elite Splicer section afterwards fortifying a zone. Make use of a hammer/axe supposing and you’ll have no trouble.

What a ruin is a eminent deed?

Basically anything we do in section on a Plaguelands. Pick adult and finish missions, take partial in open events, enter a Archon’s Forge. It’ll all count towards your eminent deeds. Combine this with bounties and get additional bonuses during a same time.

How do we get ornaments for my guns?

Mostly, we get them from Radiant Treasures or buy them from Xur (for 25 Silver Dust). But there are a few we can get from a Record Book, by winning a flawless feat in a Trials of Osiris, or in a Wrath of a Machine tough mode Raid.

What’s in a new Record Book, and where are my rewards?

The Record Book is a new approach of logging your activities and achievements by Rise of Iron. It will lane all kinds of stuff, from kills made, to Raid and Strike triumphs, to Crucible glory. For any dual entries we complete, you’ll transparent a square of a Days of Iron armour set – that cool, medieval-looking things you’ve seen in a trailers.

Each transparent will give we a homogeneous square – helmets, gauntlets, boots, etc. – for all 3 classes, definition that we can supply it to any alt. characters we competence have during a same time. Task swell is also common between characters, that creates things a bit easier. Every other finished entrance will give we shaders and emblems. Just remember that you’ll have to manually activate any prerogative by clicking on a finished task, and afterwards go behind to a front page of a book to explain it.

I’ve unbarred a prerogative in a Record Book. But because is it observant my register is full?

Because, confusingly, a Days of Iron Armor comes in unlockable packages of 3 pieces, rather than just, well, 3 pieces. So it gets stored in your Consumables register rather than your armour list. And then we have to empty it into your armour list. So transparent some space out of your consumables and try again. Yes, we know it’s stupid.
